Default my invites & RSVP postcards

I realize that I was getting very much caught up in this wedding maddness! I have NO need for extravaggant invitations and after analyzing our budget, this is one area I feel absolutely FINE doing it 100% on my own and only paying for the stamps!

So, with no more ado, here are my very simple invitations!! I am going to add colored paper as a 1/4" border around the invite. Probably green - but I'm still figuring part that out!

Oh, and also my RSVP postcards - what do you think??

LOVE the RSVP postcards.

The wedding invite appeared on 2 pages when I opened it. Maybe you are using a font I don't have ... because it didn't look right. I have the Scriptina, so that showed up ... but what's the other font you used so I can download it and then view again!

oooh, yeah I dowloaded all the fonts I used from dafont.com - probably should've posted a PDF! The fonts I used are: ChopinScript, OptimusPrinceps & Mutlu

Very cute Heidi! I would actually recommend maybe a copper color or something like that for behind the invites (border). I think the colors that you have chosen are so vibrant, that a vibrant background might subtract from your invite.
